Jacksonville Bucket List?

[Riverdale Properties]

I'm looking to compile the ultimate Jacksonville Bucket list.  I'm interested in people's opinions of the best restaurants, things to do, etc.

Opinions?

[Noone]

As for a bucket list of things to do in Jacksonville if you are Downtown you want to kayak under the Times Union on McCoys Creek and another trip is to kayak under the Duval county courthouse parking lot and the townhomes of Berkman Plaza-Plaza at Berkman. Do it once. Its not for everyone, but its a bucket list Destination Activity that would have you joining Mayor Brown in making Downtown a Destination and not a pass through.

That's my opinion and I'll be sharing it all year with the Commissioners of FIND and our Regional Partners.
